I don't just understand some kind of comments I read here sometimes.

So all of a sudden Roma maga'd us in the Rudiger deal because Manolas is more marketable and better than Rudiger? Which kind of yarns be dis? Is not this same Manolas that his transfer to Zenith fall through? I mean Zenith. ZENITH ST PETERSBURG! Where are Barca, Bayern, Juventus and other top clubs when Zenith wanted to sign Manolas for just 26m euros? If not that Manchini pulls out of the deal (because of payment dispute. Zenith wanted to pay in Rubles but Manolas wanted Euros), Manolas would have been a Zenith player today.

So you mean Roma would have sold their better defender for 26m? If Manolas is at that level you guys are painting him here, he wouldn't be in the market for anything less than 45m and Zenith wouldn't have been his destination.

Why don't you guys give Rudiger a chance first before all the attack? And airmark can you be kind enough to post the gif of that video link lordfalcao pasted? We've seen how he swept the floor. Can we see what's in that link please?

I don't know why you keep following this line of reasoning.

Anyone that disrespects the club must go.

We ain't begging no one, not an eediot who goes on strike, throws shirt at our managers, goes to the newspapers to tell Hazard to go to Madrid etc.

You don't beg internal saboteurs or accommodate their whims. That's not how you run a club.

He can fück right off.
Tor!

No be here all of us dey? Make we siddon dey look how our season go pan out.

don't remain sentimental tell it to Costa, by d way waytin make u think say nor be 8 goal him go even score if he stay next season.

Costa should go, if bat man get enough playing time him too go give use reach 14 goals guaranteed, by 2018 he will have more confidence

even if costa stay, bat man should have improve playing time,

i rather lose arrogant costa dan bat man becus we may be throwing out another lukaku in d making
What makes you so sure Batshuayi will guarantee us 14 goals?

and wat is d guarantee he would even produce d 20 goal self, make d guy go sleep, if he do any how will kill him world cup playing dream lose lose for every body

as it stands now without any meaningful signing trophy next season is a hoax costa or no costa

wish Hazard quick recovery jor
2014 he scored 20 league goals, Chelsea won EPL.
2015 Chelsea had a season to forget yet he scored 12 league goals.
2016 he scored 20 league goals, Chelsea won EPL.

Don't allow sentiments blind you. Costa have been a goal machine for Chelsea.

Throughout his career, only in his final season with ATM did he score more league goals (27) in a season than his 3 years in Chelsea.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 5:20pm On Jul 08, 2017
Costa played at least 70% part in all our title winning campaigns since he came to Stamford Bridge.

He's slightly above average at best but nothing beats the Joy you feel when you spit at a Rival during the Transfer window.

We humbled you and your bald coach...Stop worrying about us, your focus should be on how to Get Loic Remy to check his DMs.

Not entirely true. There is a World Cup tournament next year which I am sure he wouldn't want to mess his chances of participating in, that is enough leverage for the club to use in the negotiations with him.
The club reserves the right to bench him throughout the season thereby seriously denting his chances of participation.
The question is, will the club risk benching their 20-goal-per-season striker all season? Your answer is as good as mine.

Agreed, with the unavailability of strikers and the lack of suitors for Costa, it's only logical that conte eats the humble pie and reintegrates Diego. ATM are not even serious about buying Costa with the amount being quoted by the dailies.

We should focus on other areas like the RWB and midfield and then wait for next summer when griezzman would be available and that would also give us enough time to study Belloti again.
That's the problem now.

Costa no be small pikin. He will definitely know that any reconciliation the board is trying to do now is out of desperation and for the short term fix. They will use him again and drop him when a better striker arrives.

He will play hard to win back.

Of all EPL strikers last season na Costa I fear pass and I believe he is better than others. Costa can run an offence, he can trouble defenders

He is a card magnet? But I cant think of a time he has been sent off for bad behavior, Last season he was a card to suspension and went about 10games without a card, meaning Costa if happy can do things

He flirted with China etc? No summer passes with Lewandoski and his agent not flirting with other clubs and generating transfer rumors

Suarez the best striker in the world bit multiple people yet that didnt stop Barca from buying him and getting the best out of him

Game changing goals, Yes Costa delivered off the top of my head That goal vs West Brom where Chelsea won 1-0 from a Costa goal that he bullied McAuley got the ball and scored from that angle, that was my goal of the season, The goal vs City in the 3-1 Etihad win came from nowhere,

I believe no striker AVAILABLE is better than the Costa you have currently, You need to go beg him
Gbam!

Are you inside my head? You just wrote exactly what is in my mind Dayo.

I don't understand why our fans here will be so critical of Costa. First half of last season Costa was just phenomenal. Even after the Chinese saga, he still kept scoring important game winning goals for us. West Brom 1-0 Costa. Middlesbrough 1-0 Costa etc...

If them like make dem no beg am. Lukaku never fall their hand? Which other world class striker is readily available right now? None. We might end up with Batsuayi to play 4 competitions.

Funny how United fans are all happy they sign Lukaku, not because he is world class but because they 'hijacked' him from Chelsea.

It's selective retention bruv. This is what happens when the media sides with an agenda one has. You find people select the reporting that sides with their belief, and ignore the reporting from the same outlets that reported earlier counter-arguments.

No one is asking this morning why we repeatedly bid £80m earlier this year and now we are matching United's £75m. It does not make sense.

Definitely, at least one of these stories is completely false. Which reinforces my point, no one had a clue.

If we are matching £75m as at today, what did we bid before? Why was that figure not reported? Or are we matching £75m this morning because we never bid before? How come we never bid before? This deal was reportedly signed, sealed and delivered.
Makes sense.

I've never thought of it from this angle.

Bottom line: Lukaku has never been my ideal striker. Watch him flop in OT. No be Mou again? e just remain 2 seasons for him there o...

Let's just go for Auba please.

Auba -> Belotti -> Morata in that order...

lordfalcao:
like I always say. Costa is a very intelligent striker, he is still not finished. The problem is that not all coaches can put up with his attitude on the pitch, if only what he brings to the pitch outweighs his attitude but it's vice versa for Costa..
He did very well in the early part of last season. He was committed. Fought less. I believe Conte is the right man to bring out the best in him. Let them just settle their issue if today's rumour is true.

Oh plssss......so it is now Conte who didn't do well again, not madt dog Costa ,right?
You don't have a replacement yet and you literally kicked off your main striker. Who does that?

Why can't Conte calm down with that SMS of his till we get a substantial bid for Costa before kicking him off? Now that Costa revealed what happened and his value plummets, who is suffering now? The worst that can happen to Costa is 5 months without football. He will go to ATM who btw are willing to bid just £22m for him. Imagine!

If Conte didn't provoke Costa with that SMS, there won't be any revelation from Costa and his value will still be high up there and he will be hot property this transfer window.

Yes Costa is a mad dog but Conte have been handling him well all this while. Why not this last time? Why not look at the big picture? Get as much money as possible from any suitor, sell off Costa without any drama.

I blame Conte hooohaaa!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 8:03am On Jul 08, 2017
Rooney + £75m is a win win for all the parties involved.

Everton will get a ready made striker to replace Lukaku plus 75m to spend. (win)
Lukaku will get to play Champions League football and an increase in wages. (win)
Man United will significantly reduce their payment in wages. Lukaku won't earn up to 300k weekly that they currently pay Rooney. (win)
Raiola will make his own cut in agent fee. (win)

With Rooney valued at £25m (whether his value is up to that or not is another argument), it's just like Man United paying Everton £100m. Can Chelsea pay such amount for Lukaku? Even a mental case won't sanction such a deal.

So I'm really struggling here to see how Lukaku will end up in Chelsea.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 7:41am On Jul 08, 2017
Lukaku to Chelsea looks HIGHLY unlikely.

With the much publicity going on that Lukaku will make a return to Stamford Bridge, Man United have been doing their business under the radar without stress. Add to it the fact that Lukaku's agent is Mr Raiola, Mourinho's friend. He is the agent that brought Mhiki Ibra and Pogba to Old Trafford. He is the master of big money moves to OT and United is always willing to pay his agent fees as long as he makes a deal happen.

Lukaku is definitely going to Old Trafford.

Guys forget about Lukaku. Let's all look forward to another 'rumour' and hope it materialise.

And if Costa and Conte reconcile, the better. I wish it happens sef. Both of them go respect themselves. Last season, Conte brought out the best of Costa. He fought less and scored more....until that head spinning offer from China in January.

On a good day, Costa na unstoppable beast and we saw that last season. Make him chill abeg. Quality world class strikers no dey market again. But if he insist on going, I support him 100%. Conte no do well.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 8:42pm On Jul 06, 2017
I just love what Costa is doing the board now. I hear he is joining ATM for just £22m. Imagine!

You can't dismiss your only striker like that when you haven't got a replacement on hand yet.
